West Dayton Hill

Information

The West Dayton Hill property is located between Fox Run and Country Way. The property features a trap rock ridge and a cedar swamp. The property is easily accessible thanks to a trail system created by several Eagle Scouts.


The initial access trail into the property from Fox Run was created by Robert Wawrzeniak of Troop 4 in 1983. The scouts had to clear a trail for approximately 400 feet through the thickly overgrown right of way.


A one-mile Lollipop loop trail was then created by Chris Martin for his Eagle Project. The trail heads along our narrow access corridor and then opens to form a loop scaling the trap rock ridge, which is the main feature of the property.

The property now has a second loop trail created by Boy Scout Graham Page of Troop 4 as his Eagle Project. The trail is a loop trail starting off the existing Martin's trail. The trail follows along the top of a trap rock ridge. It then descends the ridge heading back along the bottom and next to a cedar swamp.
